Ca fait un moment que je lorgne sur ce tableau,
pour tout l’abandon et toute la beauté qui s’en dégage : Godiva (1898) de John Collier…
Godiva, ou plus correctement Godgifu, est une dame anglo-saxonne du XIe siècle, épouse du comte Léofric de Mercie. Sa vie est mal connue. Son nom est associé à une légende apparue plus d’un siècle après sa mort, selon laquelle elle aurait traversé les rues de Coventry à cheval, entièrement nue, afin de convaincre son époux de diminuer les impôts qu’il prélevait sur ses habitants. Bien que dépourvue de tout fondement historique, la chevauchée de Lady Godiva a inspiré de nombreux artistes.
Une des variantes de la légende veut que les habitants de Coventry, pour montrer leur reconnaissance envers leur Dame, se soient tous enfermés chez eux pendant son passage. Seul un curieux, nommé Tom, aurait osé enfreindre la consigne et aurait jeté un coup d’œil à la dérobée ; mais en punition, il devint sur-le-champ aveugle. C’est de là que vient l’expression anglaise « Peeping Tom », très souvent remplacée dans la langue actuelle par le français « voyeur ». Selon certaines sources, cette légende serait née en 1586 : on aurait demandé au peintre Adam van Noort de représenter l’épisode et il aurait montré Léofric en train de regarder sa femme par la fenêtre pour constater qu’elle exécutait effectivement sa promesse. Le public aurait mal interprété ce détail, prenant le comte pour un simple indiscret. (selon wikipedia.)

Poetic scary world with Paul Toupet
Poetic scary world with Paul Toupet… (France) – born 1979
Paul Toupet is a designer who was born in 1979 in Paris. Trained at the famous Penninghen art school and at the Workshop of Fine-Arts of Glacière in Paris, Paul Toupet has worked on the theme of human representation since 1996.Since May 1999, he displays his very particular and resolutely modern “Wax Puppets”: nucleated eyes, mouths vomiting braids, dressed in torn tissue or feathers, at a human or a child scale…
His art sometimes evokes childhood, sometimes mummies, the charred bodies of Pompeii, it revisits African art or religious art. The work of Paul Toupet is the fruit of multiple influences which are mixed and embezzle to create a poetic or provocating , a peaceful or scary world, according to the spectator’s gaze.
He is inspired by this artificial creature which have many anatomics possibilities. His work aims at transcribing a pure act of creation by the means of the unconscious which is expressed by the body. The Dolls of Paul Toupet seem to be out of time. This hybrid being would be involved in the formation of an intangible universe. Inanimate, almost eternal, it belongs to the uncanny but it is not devoid of a certain humor, even of a touch of burlesque. Dolls are spatial and temporal representations of the mores and folklore of a society.They materialise a certain conception of desire and phantasm.

DZO, Ink ARTwork – Artiphist, symbols explorer, noosphere traveler and Gaia lover. (France, Pau)
Born in a family environment conducive to graphic arts, the Graduate School of Fine Arts in Toulouse coming validate my vocation after 5 years of study. Attracted by all forms of artistic expression, it is first as a graphic designer I learns the techniques of image creation with a predilection for drawing and generally for anything that does not depend digital Design. The discovery of interactive pen displays however, offers me new horizons and now I do not impose any constraint in terms of pictures conception. Mixing styles and techniques is my way. This portfolio shows my personal artwork.

Textile sculptures de Simone Pheulpin
Textile sculptures de Simone Pheulpin.
Née en 1941, Simone Pheulpin est une sculptrice sur textile (france).
Son travail réside dans le pliage minutieux et répétitif de bandes de coton non blanchi, non décati, rêche, des Vosges. Son façonnage est permis par des attaches non visibles, épingles qu’elle dissimule au cœur de l’œuvre. Il en découle un univers qui apparaît tantôt minéral, tantôt végétal, reflet du monde naturel.

Enchanted world sculptures by Carisa Swenson
Enchanted world sculptures by Carisa Swenson, Goblinfruit Studio (New York)
Carisa Swenson’s passion for creating curious creatures springs from many sources—a love of Greek mythology and Ray Harryhausen’s creations when she was a child, an appreciative eye for Henson Workshop in her teens, to the weird and wonderful films of Jan Svankmajer and The Brothers Quay in her twenties. But when Carisa studied with world-renowned doll artist Wendy Froud, the final die was cast: posable dolls would forever own her soul and trouble her nights, stirring her with a fervor that could only be quelled by stitching and sculpting her dreams into reality. Since 2006 Carisa’s work has been featured in several exhibitions and publications, including the Melbourne Fringe Festival, NYU’s acclaimed annual « Small Works Show », Art Doll Quarterly, and Spectrum 17. Carisa has an unhealthy obsession with rabbits and rabbit tales which she blames squarely on « Watership Down ». Both the book and the movie. Especially the movie.
Sculptures monumentales de Javier Marín
Sculptures monumentales de Javier Marín. (born in Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico in 1962)
Javier Marin’s sculpture a unique and dynamic blend of Western European and Mexican culture. Working quickly, primarily in clay, Marín does not refer to a model but instead relies on his remarkable knowledge of the human form gathered from years of drawing directly from the figure. Process is one of the artist’s most obvious passions, spikes of bronze are often left exposed to show the paths of molten metal flowing into the cast figure. During the creation of a work, words might be quickly inscribed onto the raw clay, holes gouged and support structures left exposed. It is this deliberate coarseness combined with his elegant classic approach to the figure that combines to give these works such power and substance.
